Amazing! Lit up the world with your body


Generally, flashlights are powered by batteries like AA,AAA,18650,16340 or lithium since its invention. More batteries are placed in series or parallel in high power flashlight. our 1000 lumen flashlight is loaded with  1PCS of 18650 battery or 2 CR123 Batteries. While 3000 lumen led flashlight Bronte X30 uses 3PCS of 18650 batteries.The flexible flashlight Bronte V2 is compatible with either 1 or 2 AA batteries.
However,in order to save energy and protect the environment, new echo friendly energies  are encouraged to be developed and put into daily use.Thus, solar flashlights or lanterns  are launched in the market .
This is a good try though its efficiency is not high.Currently,researchers have Focused on human heat and successfully powered a high power flashlight with human body heat.This was created and tested by a teenage girl Ann Makosinski.
4 peltier tiles are used to convert the temperature differences between body and room into electricity to lit up a high power flashlight.One side of the tiles is heated by our body and the other side is cool outside.This causes  a temperature difference.When this differences reach up to 5 degrees,electricity will be produced.In the demo, Ann had lit up a high power flashlight  for 20 minutes at very low lumen. This is not a good performance.However, it is a striking step and has a long way for improvements and putting into commercial practice.
This is a good try and it is believed that one day  all electronic appliances including 3000 lumen led flashlight will need no batteries or electricity produced by coals or other resources,which can bring pollution to our environment. Our body will become the largest power plant.

Intelligent--A revolution in Flashlight industry


Flashlight, invented by Conrad Hubert in 1902 is mainly used as a remote light or carrying torch for searching or walking in darkness. With 100 years' development, flashlight  has engaged in our daily life deeply and applied in many industries and environments.unlike traditional flashlight, nowadays ,more and more newly innovations have been used on flashlight to make it more intelligence for users. This is a revolution in flashlight industry.
1) higher lumens.
It is a trend to make high lumen flashlight like 3000 lumen flashlight. This is due to high efficiency LED being developed and applied.high power flashlight with as high as 10000 lumens has been seen in market.below is a picture of Brontelight X30S.
2) self-adjusting.
New technologies like light detecting and sensor have been imported to flashlight industry.This make newly developed flashlight be able to adjust to best lighting modes. A 1000 lumen flashlight from Brontelight Technology can step down to dim mode when it has worked at highest mode for some time.This will save power and lengthen the lifetime of high power flashlight.  Some flashlight even has an LED display to indicate run time and temperature of flashlight body.
3) Batteries 
Unlike traditional flashlight,Intelligent flashlight is compatible with more types of flashlight and new energy.Below is a 3000 lumen flashlight from Brontelight Technology. It supports 18650,CR 123 and  16340 batteries.
4) more lights for different use.
More and more newly innovative flashlights have more than 1 LED light.These LED lights are of different type and with different use. Brontelight Technology is releasing a new high power flashlight with 4 LED lights--1 White LED,1 UV LED,1 Infrared LED and 1 red Led. These 4 led lights will have different applications in night hunting,dark searching,rescue,etc.
Generally, It is a trend to apply new innovation on flashlight to make this everyday carry gadgets more intelligent and useful in our daily lives.It is believed that intelligent flashlight will be dominant in  this industry soon.
